 Back in June of 2014, My small Level one class practiced a song written by me and the other Level One teacher, Varia Herring. She filmed it on her cell phone and I thought it turned out pretty cool for the one week we had to  have our students learn it and get it filmed for one of our activities called Nomen Idol!  It is a parody of the popular video called Gangnam Style, so we had to try to fit the words to the same rap beat of that song from Korea. 

Hope you will take a look at the video. I am the dancing teacher in it!

Nomen global style, Nomen style 1. I’m in this school because I’m learning real English. I’m walking down the hallway and I’m speaking only English. Here comes my homey, and he‘s telling me some stuff in English. Yes, we rock! We know English It’s a party here! We love our school activities on Mondays. Party here! We get to have some rest from work on Sundays. Party here! We listen, speak, and study grammar here. Party here, it’s a party here! Getting funky because we’re spunky, looking cool. We are looking cool. See us splashing. We’re looking smashing in the pool that is next to school. With my English speaking friends right after school. Nomen style. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style. Nomen style. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style. Chorus: Hey, speak in English. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style. I want good English. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style. 2. Here comes a text because I feel my phone’s vibration. I hope it’s not my mom or King Abdullah’s administration. I want to check my Facebook or find some games to play, but I choose to put my phone away. It’s our final test. We now have to take our final test. Final test, and teacher tells us to do our best. It’s our final test. Teacher tells us we cannot cheat! But if I fail, I can repeat! And on Friday we’ll go to Subway or some show, Ethan should know. To the mountains or to some concert we will go. . In ProVO. If I constantly use English, I will grow ow ow ow. Nomen style. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style. Nomen style. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style. Hey, no cheating! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Nomen Global style. Hey, speak in English. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, Nomen Global style. 3. Everyone is having so much fun. Baby baby come to school. Don’t be so dumb. Everyone is having so much fun. Baby baby come to school. Don’t be so dumb. Hey, speaking English, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, Nomen Global style. Hey, speaking English, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, Nomen Global style.

Andrea, this video was so well done and I could understand the words which is usually not the case with some rap videos. Pat yourself on the back for this creation. You looked great in the video too. It was delightful and I loved it!

Absolutely brilliant Andrea. It makes you so real. By the way, the year our favourite song came out, I was 13. That is, the year the Carpenters brought it out.

and I was 14 and seeing a lovely boy from church, who I would meet a few times a month in his city. I remember walking hand in hand with him as that song played over the loud speakers at the country fair.

Hi Andrea, I watched the video too. This was a lot of fun. You have a great class. It is actually better than the Korean tune. You did a nice job toying with words here. You should post it on YouTube. Have a great day. Earl

Yeah I'm with Joe Maverick here (who by the way is a brilliant writer) what do you mean No Men! Lucky in my case I squeak through on a technicality. Even with my obvious manly attributes I am considered a lesbian in 44 of 50 states. Excellent rewrite of the song. I love this write and I love the dancing teacher.

yes, I wonder if my boss realizes the name of his school is "no men!!!" He told us that he was asleep one night (before he owned the school, and it came to him that Nomen should be its name, like some kind of vision or something) Weird, huh?

Although it states clearly in the title we should not comment, as a global man its just my 'style' (to comment that is) so there you have it L O L)) I have broken your rules..' which should enrage any teacher, I think it was a fun write by the way and in order to placate your sensibilities..' anyway I was only following the bad behaviour bellow..' take care all the seasons best..'
